The online audience was left speechless with @NGOZILEE's powerful testimony, of working in education in #Ireland, and how far-right ideologies have infiltrated education spaces: a student even brazenly told her to leave thr country if she couldn't put up with the racism!

[Women in Research IE @WomenInResIE]

“I call the micro-aggressions as macro, since they accumulate over time”

“When I'm excluded from mails, it has an impact as long-lasting as far-right comments online”

@NGOZILEE shared how students sharing images of ‘wild Africa’ have internalised images perpetrated by far-right

[Women in Research IE @WomenInResIE]

This was a wholesome conversation; we're so glad the audience stayed in longer than the webinar time, to share their experiences from across #Ireland and beyond.

We hope #academia can reflect on what @NGOZILEE said: “Think of concrete steps in your own sphere of influence.”

[Women in Research IE @WomenInResIE]

Thanks to everyone who tuned in.
We will share the recording shortly, for those of you who missed it.

Big round of applause to @Sue_Kyle01 + @NGOZILEE for giving us their time & presenting their powerful work, and to @Pri_Borpujari for moderating this sensitive topic.

Onward ☘️

[Priyanka Borpujari💙☘️ @Pri_Borpujari]

So honored for the opportunity to moderate this important @WomenInResIE conversation on implications of far-right rhetoric on education + academia in #Ireland

You cannot miss the work of @Sue_Kyle01 + @NGOZILEE in this realm, IF you work in education, and ESPECIALLY if you don't

Far-right rhetoric in Ireland has led to increasing challenges in education.

Join us for an online event on June 27, where we reflect on the current climate and possibilities for building solidarity through education + research as bulwark against far-right racism and division.
